My husband and myself are attending our first grand prix outside of the UK. We are staying in Bergamo and catching the train to the track and have seats at the entrance to Parabolica. Would like a few pointers having never done a grand prix abroad and speaking very little Italian although i am trying.

1 – Having read the posts re the shuttle buses in Monza i assume we just follow everyone else on the way into the track, on the way back we are thinking about hanging round Monza for food, is the town centre far from the track? What sort of time are we looking at on foot?

2 – How pricey is the track? Ie programmes, food and water? Just wondering how much money to take with us.

3 – Having seen someone elses post re “validating train tickets on the platform” i assumed it would be a case of buying and travelling isn’t this the case?

4 – Do the track staff/officials speak a fair bit of English? As i said, i’m attempting to learn but am not getting very far!

Many thanks in advance, for any advice anyone might be able to offer!
